SC: Not a single order has been brought to our notice and only other cases have been brought before us to have no coercive steps against the petitioners. SG says it is time to revisit those orders. He has relied on 3 judge bench orders.
SC: This plea be listed on August 3 along with connected cases so that the relief of no coercive action be considered.
Adv Vikram Chaudhuri: The order being show is in GST batch. HC wanted to decide the PMLA cases but union filed a transfer plea here

Justice Khawilkar: we will deal with this on August 3.
Justice Khanwilkar: no one is pointing fingers at you. We will consider all cases together on August 3

SG: My submission is this case needs to be heard by this court as several HCs have taken different stand

#BombayHighCourt #Courtroomexchange

Justice GS Patel is informed in a case that a lawyer who earlier appeared for the defendant has now appeared for the plaintiff.

I know our standards have slipped but this much!?
There is no consideration of any consequence any longer.
Justice Patel: What happened to our ability to say no!
I don’t understand how this lawyer entertained the plaintiff in his office, forget about drafting the plaint, and taking instructions. Is it possible to say that, that was a different matter.. Really?

#BombayHighCourt
Justice Patel: I know how it is done to get around, but here there is no pretence.
Maybe we should just shop on the original side and go! Just close it down. Because then this has become a market place.
